    “Yeah.” Harvey expected this to happen and said, “I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”


    Ted sighed in resignation and began to prepare for the extraction.


    Vicky wanted to help, but Harvey spoke up, “Vicky, you should go home.”


    “I’ll go after the bullets are out of you,” she insisted.


    “This will take some time.” Harvey nced at the clock. “If you return home toote, he’ll notice


    something is wrong.”


    Vicky froze, knowing Tyler had likely targeted Harvey because of her. Without her, Harvey would not


    find himself hunted by Tyler’s assassins and hispany maliciously bought over.


    After a few moments of silence, she nodded. “Alright. I’ll see you tomorrow.”


    He smiled at her. “Don’t worry. This is nothing but a scratch. I’ve survived this long, and I’ve seen


    enough. This won’t stop me.


    Harvey’s silence had its merits as the more he spoke, the more Vicky felt guilty. Suppressing her inner


    remorse, Vicky left the office after bidding them farewell.


    By the time she reached home, it was well past 10 at night. She had not received any calls or


    messages, indicating that Tyler had not returned either.


    The muddled feelings in her heart left her dazed as she turned on the small light in the entranceway


    and changed into her slippers. She did not turn on the lights in the living room and instead headed


    toward the stairs absentmindedly.


    A deep, cool voice broke through the darkness. “Why are you back sote?”


    Vicky’s steps faltered. She turned and spotted a man loungingzily on the couch, his fingertips


    emitting tiny scarlet glimmers.


    It was then Vicky caught a whiff of the scent of smoke lingering in the air.


    She walked over and asked, “When did you get back?”


    In the dim light, their expressions were concealed in the shadows and remained unreadable.


    “I got back around eight.” Tyler’s voice was indifferent. “Why did youe back sote today?”


    “You told me you wouldn’t be back too early, and since I’d being home alone, I stayed in the office


    to draw a few sketches.”


    After a moment of silence, the tablemp by the couch was gently switched on.


    A warm, golden light cast a soft glow on their faces, leaving everything else around the couch in


    darkness.


    As Vicky passed through the illuminated area, her face was instantly illuminated by themp’s glow.


    In a soft voice, she asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you were back?”


    “I’ve beening backte recently, and you’ve always been waiting at home for me. I was suddenly


    interested in how it feels to be the one waiting.”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
